> In selecting a woman and a person of colour, Nasa is keeping its promise to bring greater diversity to its exploration efforts.

I wish people would stop promising diversity and just select people. Looking at their background, everyone selected is super qualified and seems like a great match. The diversity promise does nothing except make people doubt their credentials.

You see it also with the Vice President. Kamala Harris is talented in her own right, but Biden’s promise before he selected her made it seem like she was not. He should have just selected her without making the promise.
